Definition(s)

  • Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world. Factoring in such matters as travel agents, transportation, hotels, restaurants, guides, and sites of interest to tourists—such as nature reserves, museums, sports arenas, concert halls, and theaters—one can understand why tourism has arrived at such a position of centrality in the world's economy and is a major factor in contemporary consumer cultures.
